This year's "FanExpo Canada", presented by Rogers, runs August 27, 28 and 29 @ the Metro Toronto Convention Centre .
The history of the event started with the launch of the 'Canadian National Comic Book Expo' in 1995. In 1998 the 'Canadian National Anime Expo' joined the Comic Book Expo to provide fans with a diverse range of entertainment, followed by the 'Science Fiction Expo' in 1999. 
Rue Morgue, who sponsors the 'Festival of Fear', aka 'Horror Expo', joined in 2004, followed by the 'Gaming Expo' in 2005.
The five genres (Comic, Anime, Science Fiction, Horror and Gaming) were re-branded and merged to become Fan Expo Canada, now entering its 16th year.
This year's event will showcase 600 exhibits covering 250,000 square feet..jpg)
